Canada boss Jesse Marsch has revealed Celtic star Alistair Johnston is set to make an 'early return' to action after his recent injury.
And he is desperate to include him in his squad for their friendlies next month.
The Hoops right back has been sidelined with a hamstring injury he picked up in Celtic's Champions League elimination to Kairat Almaty in August.

Parkhead boss Brendan Rodgers stated last week he expects the experienced full back to return after the international break.
And his international boss Marsch wants to include him for Canada's two friendlies next month against Ecuador in Toronto and Venezuela in Florida, USA.
He said: "Alistair is already starting to get on the pitch and do some individual work.
"And that should bode well for him potentially making an early return and being available for our games in November."
